This resembles the shield used in the End Credits fairly well. Presumably this is the shield he carries all the way to the end of Civil War, where it gets visible scratch marks from BP Click

now to the two Shields in Endgame

the first shield (Top right in OP) doesnt have these scratch marks, so Tony must have polished it in the years after Civil War up until he returned it. This shield gets destroyed in the Battle with Thanos.

the second shield (Top left in OP) comes from an alternate timeline.

Since we dont really know how the events in that alternate timeline go down, and as a matter of fact that Steve Rogers physically exists twice (once returned from the future [fSteve], once frozen in the ice [pSteve]) my guess would be that with fSteve appearing they stop the search for pSteve. With the knowledge of where Vibranium comes from fSteve proves Howard Stark wrong that its all they had and Howard proceeds to create him a new shield.

a movie, even in a connected universe like the mcu, should always focus on it's own story first.
If the mentioning of Spidey makes sense for the story, yes there could be something.
It's why the FFH lines worked, it made sense for Spidey to ask for other avengers on the threat at hand.
Just a throwaway line for the sake of making sure the audience is aware of studio drama is not smart.
especially since it could close the door for future spidey mcu entries

When i did a Ice Sheet Playthrough I made dusters out of all the "top 3 fabrics" just to get more $$$ for them and dumped everything into Muffalo and Megasloth wool.

Which Material is best for you really depends on the playthrough you're doing, Nonextreme? Yeah i guess that list is somewhat okay-ish but i'd gear all my colonists in Bluefur instead of buying Synthread any day of the week.

Then again, this "list" only looks at the fabrics so yeah, not helpful.

in which of the upcomming projects would Spidey even be of importance that he needs referencing?

Black Widow? it's set after Civil War, so Spidey hasn't had to go under yet, and none of the Characters besides Widow have been involved in Civil War (as far as we know anyways) so no need to reference him at all.

Eternals and Shang-Chi are out of Spideys sphere.

Thor, does he even have one exchange with Spidey? I know Valkyrie gives him a short ride in EG but other than that there wasn't anything that connected Spidey to that character. Unless the Guardians make an appearance in that Movie aswell there's not really anything that would connect Spidey to these characters (and the guardians only because they fought Thanos alongside him on Titan)

Doctor Strange is the only Movie I could see a Spidey-Tie in in some form since the Multiverse was the entire Setup of Mysterio, then again, I feel Stranges and Wandas MCU powers are out of Spideys league so how would he fit in there?

If we're looking at the TV side of things I could see Falcon and the Winter Soldier have a FFH tie in. Depends on the timeline they are going for really.

The parts can only be bought and are going to make your 74k silver disappear fast.

Exotic Goods traders as well as non tribal settlements can have them in stock.

Modded? possibilities are limitless depending on how far you have gone with mods.

Setting up a second settlement is not really going to solve the silver stockpile issue as that is more a logistical problem.

Other than that take all the raw resources you can get from traders.
Take every artifact (lances)
dont hesitate to buy excellent or above quality weapons/armor - most of it you can craft ofc but having spares never hurts
doomsday rocket launchers. all of them.

but even in non extreme biomes early game stone is too much effort at first because beside that early shelter you need to get food production sorted, possibly power, and maybe even some basic defences before you'll have time to cut down chunks.
just in the non extreme biomes you use wood as the very basic building material as that is available plentiful.

but in deserts or ice sheet / sea ice ... there is hardly any wood so steel is the next best option until you can spare time to cut chunks.

on sea ice there isn't even a way to obtain stone(or wood) outside of trading and meteorite strikes, while steel comes with every drop/cargo pod and ship chunks etc.

That is correct, that probably means you'll have to buy something off a trader frist.

on a Fabrication Bench you can craft Advanced Components from 1 regular component, 20 steel, 10 plasteel and 3 gold.

it's hard to really stockpile Plasteel, Uranium Gold, and Advanced Components as they are very rare and high tech. But especially the Long Range Scanner can be a big help for that, it should be worth building one.

At that point you should have access to Long Range Mineral Scanner and Ground penetrating scanner.

The Long Range Mineral scanner can be set to a resource and your scientist will then search for chunks of that resource. once found you'll have to send a mining expidition to the site and extract the resource.

The Ground penetrating scanner will find resources on your map. the large spots are usually steel.

This is a bit trial and error as jade/plasteel/uranium are usually similar in size and you might need to move your deep drill a few times to find a spot.

I'm looking for basic expansions to gameplay, like more bionics, things to do with prisoners, that sort of thing. Extra special bonus points if someone can recommend me a mod that allows me to turn my pets into bionic attack dogs.
